Same thing happend to Sebastian, and I had him on cat-lax.(fur ball
remover) The thing is I wasn't doing it on a regular basis. Once or twice
a month. I also didn't start this till he was around two and a halg. I
now give all my guys cat lax at least once a week but usualy twice a week.
Sebastian ended up in the hispital for two days because of it. And yes I
too pick appart any unsual looking stool now. It's not the funnest thing
but my kids health is more important than my sence of smell. :) Glad to
here it was just a furball.

Amy yes they do smell. But so don't cats and dogs. I myself can
no longer smell my ferrets, but my sister and mother sure do. I can't
stand the smell of my sisters cats litterbox or the room it's in but my
sister goes what smell. So what's a pet owner to do? One good thing I
believe cat poo and pee is alot stronger than that of a ferret.
Sorry to here the loss of several ferrets lately as always my
heart goes out to you all. Take care and have a good weekend.
Brad, and the Gang.
P.S. My sisters moving this weekend anyone out there want to help.
I HATE moving.
